Exchange auto-labeling policy now supports replacing manual label and encrypting email received from any organization

Exchange auto-labeling policies can protect mail in transit by applying sensitivity labels to mail received from inside or outside the organization that are not manually labeled. Currently, encryption can only be applied to unencrypted mail received from inside the organization. We are now adding the capability to configure policies that can apply encryption to mail received from outside the organization. In addition, policies can be configured to replace a label even if mail already has a manual label applied, provided the label priority on the mail is lower or same.
